Purchased directly from the family this painting shows a more modern, geometric portrait in hue greens, pinks, yellows and reds. An avid, committed painter Rothenberg was a family friend and inspiration to artist Susan Rothenberg who in a NYT article described Rothenberg as "artist whose excitement about painting was ''totally infectious,'' and who allowed her to work in his studio."
